No improvements from player's perspective other than in graphics. AI is still dumb as shit. When you sneak your companions are invisible to the enemy no matter what. Enemies move and react slowly. As always, "hard" difficulty means more bullet sponges, not smarter enemies. I hpoed CDPR would make a difference here. We still have level requirements for clothing and weapons. The most annoying by far: TIME FREEZES WHEN NOT DOING MAIN QUESTS. Remember when we had to track down Ciri? How we could take our sweet time despite every NPC telling us that we had to hurry or else? Well same here. No reward for those who hurry up or find shortcuts. For a company that brags so much about having consecuences for every action, screwing over responsible players like this is not cool. Also, a certain bad ending mentioned something bad would happen in 6 months, so i thought OK no big deal, I will spend those months fighting every second to solve it... then credits roll and game over. What the fuck man, 6 months is a lot of time. Let us fight until the end dammit! A certain person mentioned the problem might be solvable if we had a dedicated team, yet the game wont let us try and get it. **Mild Spoilers Ahead** We are against the clock, so I forsake a lot of side quests to get this over with and guess what? Shit ending. Turns out I was supposed to waste entire additional days doing something else when death could happen any moment now. We truly are supposed to shit on all warnings for things to end right.
